people of Virginia today by reason
of Bourbon Barbour rule. The rev.

This is the price of Bourbon Bar

The notion that there is not the
same material difference between the
two parties now that formerly existed
is fiction far too generally indulged.
As matter of fact, the division be-
tween the parties is as clearly drawn
as ever.
The question of State sovereignty
is less conspicuous for obvious rea-
sons. The first and most important
of these is that the courts have affirm
ed the Democratic position. But CO.
existant with the agitation of that
point from the beginning was the
important question of lavish expen-
diture or economical administration.
On this subject many hard political
battle was fought. The Wings and
after them the Republicans insisted
on all manner of internal improve
ments that would entail lavish ex-
penditure and keep up a high rate of
taxation, while the Democrats insist
ed on retrenchment in expenditures
and a minimum tax rate.
The same contest is now in pro-
gress, and the party lines are drawn
just as they were years ago. The
Republicans insist on all manner of
extravagant schemes to absorb mon
ey and justify the continued drain
upon the tax resources of the people.
Tax, tax, tax, is the motto that has
served to guide their political course
from the beginning, and the accumu-
lating surplus stimulates their zeal in
that direction, but it should lead to
tax reduction rather than an increase
of expenditures.
Oh no, the differences between the
parties are not disappearing. They
are as clearly defined, as emphatic,
and as irreconcilable now as ever
they WERE

The EIGHTH OF JANUARY.-Next
Saturday is the anniversary of the
great victory achieved by Southern
arms and valor at New Orleans over
the British The battle was fought
u years ago, two weeks after peace
had been declared between England
and the United States. Had there
been steamships or telegraphs then,
jackson and Packenham would not
have fought this battle after peace.
But the battle of New Orleans was
fought, and jackson was victor
That victory enshrined him in the
hearts of the people; his rugged hon
esty and his undaunted courage on
field and forum, commanded public
trust, and his rule marks memora-
BILE era in our national politics. 1t
was an honest rule; it was popular
rule; it was the faithful administra-
tion of government in the interests Of
the governed, and it sublimely con
trasts with our later political demor.
alization and profigacy. It is well,
therefore, for Democracy to worship
at the altar of jackson. It is well
for silver-tongued Democratic ora
tors to point with pride to Jackson
and learn anew the fundamental
principles he taught. The more
Jacksonism Democracy can put into
Democratic power, the more endur-
ing will be the Democratic tenure.

COLLINsBURG, La, December 26.
Editor Bossier Banner: Through
the columns of the BANNER I no
tice that there are parties advoca.
ting a dog tax. 1 think we are, as
a poor, laboring class, and the bone
and sinew of the country, taxed now
up to the last point. We handle
nothing but what is taxed in some
way, and we have to pay the lner-
chants prices for all we consume,
and at their rate of profit, (Which
enables them to live very handsome
ly), while on the other hand we
have to sell them our produce at a
price they see proper to give, be
that mach or little-while little is
always the winning figure.
The idea of taxing every dog in
the country is very serious mat
ter. There are great many people
in this country who are barely able
to pay their poll-tax, after their cot
ton pens and corn cribs have been
deprived of their contents to pay
for the scanty supplies which are
supplied them while they are labor
ing to produce those crops.
The dog, according to the best of
our knowledge, was placed here for
the benefit of man. We have been
taught, and fully believe, that the
dog, in his proper place, is as valua-
BILE to man as his COW, horse. or hog.
Nevertheless, dogs could be dis
pensed with, but when a man laws
down to sleep at night he feels that
his smoke-house is safe and his
chickens will not be destroyed by
varmints. FARMER.
